At first glance, the iPad 2, third-generation iPad, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, and iPod touch may look very similar to each other. After all, they use the same operating system, run the same apps, and look like larger and smaller versions of each other. But are they really the same?

The chart below shows how these three devices stack up against each other in terms of hardware and software features.
